The Legaletlwa High School has opened a new computer centre to allow school going kids access to the web. The centre was opened by the Minister of Public Service and Administration, Ms Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi.

Present at the launch of the centre were Mec of education in Limpopo Dr Aaron Motswaledi, Mayor of greater Sekhukhune municipality His Excellency Namane Masemola, Makhuduthamaga mayor Queen Mkhabela, and the Chief Executive Officer of TSS (Tactical Software Systems) Mr. Danny Mackay.

Addressing the pupils of Legaletlwa, Fraser-Moleketi said: " I am deeply moved to be here today at the opening of your new computer centre, under the apartheid system Legaletlwa existed on the periphery, poorly resourced and mostly disregarded."

Jubilation was the order of the day when the centre was handed over officially to the school's administration. Moleketi further pointed out that "The possibilities and opportunities that will present themselves to you as learners, and to you as teachers, are infinite and with these enabling tools, you should be well on the way to becoming a 'connected' learning institution and an established centre of knowledge and excellence".

Legaletlwa was started in 1977 and has been one of the historically disadvantaged high schools in the Limpopo Province. Currently Legaletlwa has 644 students 59 of them are registered matriculants.

In the past 3 years Legaletlwa improved its matric pass rate significantly. The opening of the computer centre is a generosity of TSS (Tactical Software systems) and State Information Technology Agency. Moleketi said "Today marks the beginning of a new era at Legaletlwa High School - an era of opportunity and new knowledge and new learning horizons - to be grabbed robustly by all learners".

Meanwhile, Mr S.S.Makola the principal of Legaletlwa said that "I plan to open a computer centre at our sister schools in the province as well as for the community of Limpopo."

Moleketi encouraged the students and community to make use of the computer centre wisely and make sure that it works for the advancement of the community as a whole.
